Giants Identity for next few years

Lines of Scrimmage : 11/18/2017 6:40 pm
Well this season turned into a stinker....it happens. Moving forward I am curious as to the best of course of action for the type of team the NY Giants should be.

I'll start. I would like a hard-nosed team that has a great offensive line. I still believe imposing ones will wins in this league. Big strong running backs with strong armed QB for big plays. Defense that gets after the quarterback but most important whether no gain or big gain they feel it. So something along Coughlin's but simpler reads do to practice restrictions. I don't enjoy the 5 yard passes relying on YAC as the primary means. Any thoughts?
I'll enjoy any identity that wins a lot of games, and championsips.

So I'm not that specific. Just win, baby. Pass or run, shutdown defense or aerial circus, just win the division, go deep in the playoffs, bring back a Lombardi or two. Do what Parcells and Coughlin did. That's enough identity for me.

I think the formula/identity should be the same as it's always been for every Giants championship team.

- Elite pass rush
- Reliable run game
- Good QB play in clutch situations

That's always been good enough for us to hold Lombardi, no reason to change now.
Find one!

It'll be whatever the HC, GM, and owners can agree on.
For the last 8 years they've just been rudderless( no identity).
Me:
Power in the power positions OL & DL and MLB;
Speed in Outside LBs, WR, and secondary.
Overall: Guys that love playing football, not just guys that play football.
wackadoo and reeses pieces......

= carrey and daniels in dumb and dumber. at the end of this season, a bus with darnold and rosen stops by the side of the road, the giants, having earned the number one pick (fingers crossed the browns can win a game)....darnold and rosen lean out of the bus doorway...."either of you two guys looking for a great quarterback?" wackadoo responds "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" reese responds: "you two are in luck!, there are 31 nfl teams, just down the road, holding a college draft....tomorrow". in 2018, the new york football giants drafted a lineman from a small college he turned out to have degenerative neck, leg, arm injuries, and only played one game... during 2019's mid season, the giants were once again 1 and 10, ownership announced they were staying the course. the fourteen fans attending their 12th home game gave up, and left met life midway in the second period after eli manning's walker malfunctioned and he fumbled for the 96th time in 2019, oh well..... loyal giants fans, do not fret, wackadoo and reese have their eyes on a fantastic punter prospect, a left footed phenom, with twelve toes, there is always 2020 to look forward to.
But that's the problem we have this year....

We are forcing players to play an offense that they are not suited for....

When you draft, the best player available may not be what you are looking for....

To back a team into a corner, and say they have to be this or that is crazy....you have to get players that play together, players that are leaders, and a HC that takes advantage of the talent that they have....the square peg in a round hole mentality has to stop...

with a few years left.

Shore up OLine, they may a poor enough season so even they cannot blow the pick. Need a DE too.

Might need to re-think defense a bit. Complex scheme seems to be confusing players. Use the scheme that let's them play the fastest.

Don't think it is as much of a rebuild as many think. Job 1 - build an OLine that an old lady could run behind and keep Eli clean. Get 1 DE or 2 to help with pass rush.

I like this secondary - need a better pass rush and maybe Spags won't have to get as creative.
Keeping Eli and making him the focal point?

Whoever you draft, will not pay dividends for a few seasons....Eli does not have that time.....it's sad to say, but I think Eli's window is closed with this Giant team.....it may be open a crack, if he plays for another team that utilizes his talents, the long throw, not this dink and dunk offense that sometimes needs 3 completions to get one first down...
